Oil on Canvas. I wanted to depict the strength and beauty of a barren tree that still stands even after the wind has cut her top growth. Hope you like it.

A poem by my good friend, Andy...
Blow wind Blow

I stand alone here
wind has battered me
cut my top clean away
roots intact, I am here to stay

Thanks Andy!!

It is a beautiful example of oil painting. The theme is thought provoking and the stanza by Andy is adding to its strength. Fine work, Nancy.

Hi Kirk, This is a very good portrait. Payne's grey I find very good for black and white subjects, although you do seems to have other colours mixed with it? Quite a bit of red? Well done. Danny
